[Bug 1465766] [NEW] low sound volume

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

this is a thinkpad x1 carbon 3rd gen running xubuntu 15.04

sound volume is very low compared to windows (dual boot), even with alsa
and pulseaudio controls set to 100% (or greater).

this applies to all apps.

i can get really loud sound with:
pactl set-sink-volume 1 300000
but then it is very distorted.
